Pigs and Coat Hangers?!

I saw a card like the one above for sale in a shop, and thought to myself, "I can make that!"  So I did!  Thanks t Andrea who had given me some coat hanger paper clips!  They were the perfect size! I used some coloured wool I had, and typed and printed the words on my laptop.  I adhered the coat hanger to the card using my hot glue gun.  Such a fun, quick and easy card to make!

This card uses a  stamp and die set from Pink Ink Designs, called "Pigs Might Fly".  Loraine sent me a card like this recently, and I loved how she coloured it, and ended up buying the same stamp and die set.  (Thank you Lorraine!)  I have adhered the pig and balloons with sponge tape to give it some height. I cheated by using my Scan N Cut machine to die cut the wings and balloons.  I have very sore thumbs/hands at the moment and found it a bit of a challenge with the smaller dies.  I also used my San N Cut to cut out the word "Believe", below which is on the inside of the card.  The machine has over 

1000 pre programed images (this was one of them) and you can make them smaller or larger as you like.  As well as those images, you can draw/stamp your own words/images and it will cut those as well.  This machine does way more stuff than I know, and I am constantly learning what it can do!  It also has several alphabets so you write and cut your own words.  SO much fun!!

A Bunch of Snarky Cats!

Here are my latest cards, all "Snarky Cats" stamps by Tim Holtz.  All the images have been cut using my Scan N Cut machine.  It does a way better job at cutting than I do!

Mr. Snarky, above, is having a party, but instead of having party lights, he has party fish skeleton lights!  Pheww, that would be smelly!  I wonder if anyone came to his party?!

The card above has a mish mash of stamping, tissue paper, ink smooshes and sticky net stuff on it.  Because the background is so busy and colourful, I left Mr. Snarky un-coloured.

This Snarky is made on a playing card!  He has a background of tissue paper and some sticky net stuff that Andrea gave me.  The gold wings are a Tim Holtz 3D Embossing folder that cuts out and embosses the image.

SO much fun to use!  I love Tim Holtz products, they are always excellent quality.  If only Tim would re- release the Stamptember Snarky Cats stamps.  I want to buy that set!  I missed out on getting it as I was unwell and in hospital at the time.  By the time I was discharged and sent home, the set had sold out:-(

Ok, so that's all for now! Thanks for dropping by!

Snarky Christmas Tree!

 Here's another of my Snarky Cats cards.  This one is supposed to be a Christmas tree. I have lightly sponged a green background around the cats. I know it's hard to see on here, but it is there.

Once again, I have stamped and masked the images so it appears they are stacked on top of each other.  I then used my Scan N Cut machine to cut the entire image out in one piece.  I would never attempt to hand cut an image like this, it would be too difficult and take me too long.  As well as that my hands are too sore to hold the scissors and cut.

Two New Snarkys!

I made these two cards yesterday.  This first card was made because at 2.27am yesterday morning we were woken by a Civil Defense Alarm warning us that there had been a huge 7.1 earthquake in the Kermadec Islands (above NZ) and there was a possibility there may be a Tsunami, and for those who live close to the coast we were told to evacuate.  So my sense of humour took over and I made this card, below!

Mr. Snarky is in the bath, and in my imagination, he has caused a Tsunami!  While the Tsunami alert was serious, my imagination set into gear and so I made this card.  We got CD alerts all through the day,  and luckily no one was injured and no property damaged.  Thank goodness for that.                                              

I also made this card, below, yesterday.  I follow Ryan from Glitter Grunge Greetings on you tube, and this card was inspired by a card he had made.  Mr. Snarky is being greedy and diving in to a pot of gold at the end of the rainbow!  

                                                       

 

 It's a wonder his top hat didn't fall off!    The gold circles are supposed to be gold coins!  

I stamped a witches cauldron for the pot, and cut off some of the flames underneath it.  I glued some gold coins to kind of hide the bottom.

A Flying Snarky!

I made (and posted) this card yesterday.  I made the background by spraying a piece of white glossy card with different coloured sprays. I stamped and cut out the cat and then coloured him in with copics.  I die cut the wings and attached them to the back of the cat, and then added one of those Action Wobble Springs to the back of him and stuck him to the card.  He wobbles when you move either the card, or touch  him.

I added some sequins, and a small clear glass gem to the center of the spider web.  I also added some wobbly eyes to the cat. I think they enhance the expression on his face! Lots of fun to make, and I hope the recipient enjoys it!  I'm not doing a lot of crafting right now, it's been so hot and humid and my inspiration has gone 'on holiday!'
